91 year-old Al Jaffee is best known as the inventor of the MAD “Fold-In” which he started in 1964 and has been doing ever since. He is the author of 8 volumes of Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions.
A month prior to this performance interviewed him on stage at Drew University and told him about an upcoming live comics reading I was producing. Not missing a beat, Jaffe goes “I'd like to try that.” In the car back from the talk, we decided on doing some of Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions live and voila.
Produced by Jeff Newelt AKA JahFurry, comics editor of Heeb, SMITH, & Royal Flush; editor of the upcoming Harvey Pekar's CLEVELAND http://bit.ly/ClevelandPekar
